Example: Commit a file with ? (questionmark) in the filename on Linux and checkout the file on Windows. [[[ D:\temp>svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/pmc/subversion/pr/XXXX private_wc [...] svn: E155009: Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with 'D:\temp\private_wc\YYY_folder', work item 54 (file-install XY?Z.html 1 0 1 1) svn: E720123: Can't move 'D:\temp\private_wc\.svn\tmp\svn-C3A15B21' to 'D:\temp\private_wc\XY?Z.html': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. ]]] (The above example is from the Subversion private repository, I've masked the actual folders/filenames but it should be reproducible for anyone with access to the repository). This is a case where a conversion might /be/ necessary (although I don't have a concrete idea of what the conversion should be). Or else these files should just be ignored on checkout. I'm just mentioning this in case someone looks at the code and decides make changes to the conversions. Kind regards, Daniel
